Five-point review

How to read a product-specific report without overclaiming

A certificate of analysis is evidence about the identified sample and the panels shown—not a universal quality badge or an approval.

  1. 01

    Match the identity

    Compare the exact product name, matrix or format, batch or lot code, and any sample identifier with the package.

  2. 02

    Check the laboratory

    Look for the laboratory name, contact information, report identifier, accreditation information when shown, and a way to verify the report at its source.

  3. 03

    Check the dates

    Review received, tested and reported dates. A report is not automatically evidence for later production lots.

  4. 04

    Read units and qualifiers

    Percentages, milligrams per gram, reporting limits, not-detected results and pass/fail statements do not mean the same thing.

  5. 05

    Confirm the tested panels

    Do not infer that pesticides, residual solvents, heavy metals, microbials, mycotoxins or other characteristics were checked unless the report lists those panels.

Common reasons a report cannot be matched

  • The package and report show different batch or lot identifiers
  • The report describes an ingredient or bulk material rather than the finished product
  • The report is missing product identity or date information
  • The linked file belongs to a different format, package size or formulation
  • A panel is assumed even though it is not listed

What to send with a request

Make the match easier

Provide the exact product name, full batch or lot code, a clear photo of the package label, and where the product was obtained. Do not send sensitive identity or payment information.
